CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT fair
RATING
It was one of jazz guitarist Green's early signature tunes, from his initial Blue Note period when he was more bop than funk. The tune is an uptempo number of around eight minutes, featuring solos from all the main participants.
Up first is Green, who plays in his usual spare manner. It's a pretty nice example of his cool soloing and it is backed by some fine organ comping. Yusef Lateef takes a tenor sax solo next that is very much in a bop vein. It's competent but is not particularly special. Lastly, Brother Jack McDuff is up with his organ. For me his solo is the most exciting of the three, but then i always have a soft spot for some nice organ.
It's all fine if you like this sort of thing, but if you don't it'll end up as wallpaper at best.
